Team news – Big ins for Warriors

There is some great news for Warriors fans. Young star Leka Halasima will start the match after having been named in jersey 22 on Tuesday.

After feeling some tightness in his hamstring immediately before the Warriors loss to the Dolphins last weekend, doubts remained over whether he would return today.

After taking little time to become one of the most exciting players in the competition, the 20-year-old, who will today play game 50 of his NRL career, is sure to excite the home fans.

In other Warriors news, veteran winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak also make a return to the starting side in the No.23 jersey.
